Welcome to Prompt Service Atom and RSS Feeds

What are feeds and how to use them?

A feed is a regularly
updated summary of web
content, along with
links to full versions
of that content. When
you subscribe to a given
website's feed by using
a feed reader, you'll
receive a summary of
new content from that
website. Important:
you must use a feed
reader in order to subscribe
to website feeds. When
you click on an RSS
or Atom feed link, your
browser may display
a page of unformatted
text.

What is an Atom Feed?

The name Atom applies
to a pair of related
standards. The Atom
Syndication Format is
used
for web feeds, while
the Atom Publishing
Protocol
is protocol for creating
and updating Web resources.

What is an RSS Feed?

RSS (an acronym for "Really Simple Syndication" or "Rich Site Summary") is a way for web sites to
summarize their content, such as news articles, to make it available in
a different view and a simple way for users to have an interactive bookmark
to content that is of interest to them.

What is a Feed Reader?

Feed reader is a Web site
or tool that allows
you to sign up for various
feeds from news sources,
blogs and other Web
sites. It collects all
the headlines and summaries
in one place so that
you don't have to hunt
around to see what's
new.

How do I read and get updates?

There are two basic steps to getting and reading an RSS feed:
subscribe to it and pick a news aggregator to read it with. Subscribing,
or bookmarking, a RSS or Atom feed allows you to automatically receive updates
to that feed. A news aggregator, usually a software or web-based program,
translates the RSS or Atom feed into a more reader-friendly format.
